Cultivation Pet Shop Chapter 4
Advertisement
When Lin Fan was revived again, he found that instead of a forest, he had been sent into the middle of an empty field this time.
Looking around, it was a large grassy area that was devoid of any creatures and any form of plants.
Thinking about what had just happened, Lin Fan couldn't help but give a sigh.
That angel really was too strong, he stood no chance against it at all.
While remembering that angel, he couldn't help blaming his system for not helping at all.
"System, couldn't you have helped me translate her language?" Lin Fan said to his system.
"Host, you do not have enough permission to exchange for language skills." The system coldly said back.
"Damn, what a trash system." Lin Fan muttered under his breath.
"Profanity detected, first warning."
Lin Fan immediately stopped after remembering what happened last time, but he still cursed the system in his mind.
"Cursing the system, second warning."
He was shocked that the system could read his mind, so he just let it all go with a strong stomp of his foot.
"Bad manners, third warning."
"Random punishment will now be selected."
"Pain shock punishment selected."
It was instant, but every single one of Lin Fan's pain receptors began to fire. It hurt as much as when the angel had slashed him down to molecules, it hurt so much that he fell to the ground and started doing the worm, but even that didn't help with the pain.
After a minute, Lin Fan finally recovered from the punishment, no longer daring to complain about the system.
Since there was nothing else to do right now, Lin Fan went around looking for other beasts to fight to keep training his three pets.
The four of them continued walking around this field, fighting all kinds of different monsters.
As night settled, Lin Fan realized that he didn't know just how long he would be in this world, so he asked the system.
"Host, this mission will last for seven days and you will be graded based on what level of power your pets have when the mission ends."
Hearing this, Lin Fan knew that he had to work even harder.
Over the next six days, he found all different kinds of monsters to challenge with his three pets and by the end of it, all three of his pets had reached a combat strength of over 30.

This meant that even though all three pets were still at the Iron 1 level, they could match a pet that was at the Silver 1 level!
"Evaluation, host has raised all pets to over 10 combat strength."
"Evaluation, host has raised all pets to over 30 combat strength."
"Evaluation, host has passed the first main quest with flying colours."
"Special reward has been given along with normal reward."
"Host has opened the system's shop."
When Lin Fan finally returned to his own world, he appeared in a pet shop that was completely different from the one that he just left.
This pet shop was brand new with plenty of new rooms with different functions.
"System, are we in the right shop?"
"Host, the shop has been remodeled as a reward for completing the first main mission."
Lin Fan began looking over his shop, finding all kinds of new and different things.
But after calming down from his excitement, he suddenly remembered his new family and realized that he had been away for a week now.
When he was panicking about what to tell his new parents, the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind.
"Host, only an hour has passed in this world."
Lin Fan looked over the clock on the wall and found that indeed only an hour had passed.
When Lin Fan tried asking the system about this, the system began explaining in detail about time compression using time laws, but it was too complicated for Lin Fan to understand, so he had the system stop.
Now that he was back, it was finally time for him to start running his pet shop, but unfortunately, there were no customers at all.
He was excited and raring to go at the start of the day, but all he did that day was sit at the register until the afternoon waiting for a customer to come in.
Finally, as time passed, there was a customer that came in.
It was a girl who was being followed by a boy.
"Xiao Qing, why are you going to a shabby shop like this? Come with me, I'll bring you to the Excellent Shop downtown. It'll be much better than a place in the slums like this."
Lin Fan heard this before he heard the bell ring over his door.

"Murong Quan, this is my business. I already told you, stop following me."
"But Xiao Qing, this is such a shabby…"
The boy's words were suddenly stuck in his throat when he finally took a good look at the store. He wanted to call this store shabby, but he really couldn't since it was quite clean and professional.
Luo Qing was also surprised when she walked into the shop. She already knew that this shop was shabby, but she still came here because this was where her parents bought her her first pet.
This store wasn't shabby back then, it was still being run by the old owners who were a monster breeding couple, but it had gone downhill since they suddenly quit and gave their shop to their son.
Seeing the exact opposite of what she had expected, she was quite pleasantly surprised.
Luo Qing ignored Murong Quan and walked up to the counter where Lin Fan was sitting.
"Sir, do you offer pet training services here?" Luo Qing hesitantly asked.
Even if she was pleasantly surprised by the appearance of the shop, all the reviews that she had read online said that this place was terrible.
Lin Fan was surprised that there were customers at first, but he quickly reacted, "Yes pretty miss, we offer professional pet training services here."
Luo Qing's face flushed when she heard Lin Fan call her pretty, which was something that Murong Quan didn't miss.
After calming herself down, she asked, "How much does it cost for your pet training service?"
Lin Fan saw that she was actually interested, so he immediately entered his customer service mode and said with a bright smile, "It's not that expensive, it's only just a hundred energy crystals for Iron Grade pets."
Luo Qing was shocked by this and Murong Quan immediately exploded.
The currency in this world had two faces, one was the currency for normal people which was gold coins and the other was the currency for Beast Masters which was energy crystals.
Each energy crystal cost a hundred gold coins, which meant that the training for the lowest tier pet already cost ten thousand gold coins.
To give some context, this was equal to the average yearly income of a normal family!
"You fraud! Trying to take advantage of Xiao Qing's goodwill!" Murong Quan roared.
Murong Quan charged forward to grab Lin Fan's collar, but before he could even touch him, there was a force that suddenly pushed him aside.
Murong Quan was surprised by this, but he didn't think too much since his anger had already taken over.
He immediately called out his Flame Hound and ordered it to attack Lin Fan.
Lin Fan saw that this Flame Hound was only in the Iron 5 level, so he was too lazy to deal with it. He grabbed the little Fire Phoenix chick that was cuddling up to him and threw it out in front of the Flame Hound.
Luo Qing saw the cute little chick and was immediately angry with Lin Fan. She called out to Murong Quan, "Stop!"
However, Murong Quan was completely enraged and didn't stop his Flame Hound at all.
The Flame Hound looked at the little chick like it was a snack and opened its jaw wide to swallow it in a single gulp, but the little chick suddenly gave a chirp and the Flame Hound lost consciousness.
Both Murong Quan and Luo Qing were shocked by this. They thought that the owner must have used some secret technique to knock out the Flame Hound.
Before either of them could react, the Fire Phoenix chick had already taken a deep breath and gathered the flames in its mouth. It knew that its master didn't want to kill these kids, so it scattered the flames as it blew them across Murong Quan.
Murong Quan was completely blown away by the flames and when he came out of them, he was completely charred black.
On his face was a terrified look since he could feel the energy contained within the flames. These flames contained energy that was on the Silver Grade, so if the owner wanted to kill him, it would have been as simple as flipping his hand.
The Fire Phoenix chick saw that everything was over, so it dawdled over back to Lin Fan and raised its head like it was looking for praise.
There was only silence left in the shop as Luo Qing and Murong Quan both had looks of shock on their faces.

A fine octet of legs

Forgotten Dungeon
Death comes quickly and without warning. Even for such little personage as him. It's quite hard to start as a dungeon core. Quite harder when divine bureaucracy simply dumps you in the a** end of nowhere because of their incompetence and because of your agent status as a Fallen Angel. Yet Uno (temporary name) is used to working with subpar materials and making the best of circumstances. It doesn't help that his personality was cut down to size, but he tries to overcome the system with ingenuity and a healthy dose of duct tape. Or the local equivalent of such. *** An audiobook of the Forgotten Dungeon story has been made by Agro Squerrils and is available on YouTube, under this link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcfzFNUhrNS3Z7DfjN5pMWn-CI1uKg3s2 He has my permission and full support for doing so, so don't be shy and check it out! *** Hello people! It's a story about a dungeon. Or maybe the dungeon? Who knows. Dumped in a hostile world, working hard to overcome circumstances. There is an RPG system in place, but I'll try to make it not number-heavy. I would be more focused on skills - at least from the perspective of the sentient races. Dungeons will have their own little playground. I'll try to make MC not overpowered - it always irks me how the stories tend to go from zero to hero in a few minutes. I hope y'all will enjoy the ride! *** Also, a Discord server has been made recently: https://discord.gg/sK2pam3 Join and share your opinions, if interested! :)

Faeos Book One: The Stuff of Legends
A ragtag assemblage of adventurers, scraped together by seeming circumstance, investigate the theft of an ecologically essential artifact. In so doing, they find themselves embroiled (as adventurers so often do) in the larger machinations of a mischevious gnome, a determined mage or three, and a dire threat to their homes. Based on a homebrew Pathfinder campaign begun several years ago, and still running. Faeos is one part combat, one part character building, and one part entirely justified silliness. Blame any lead character weirdnesses on my players, whom I love. Blame everything else on me. Oh, and yes, this should also be tagged "Unreliable Narrator."
